[atlas] New RIPE Atlas stream release

Dear colleagues,

The new version of the RIPE Atlas streaming API is now available.

As mentioned in the previous e-mail, the API can now be accessed using 
either plain WebSockets or plain GET requests.

Socket.IO support is being maintained for now, so you don't have to 
immediately change your installations, but the new interfaces should be 
preferred wherever possible.

The documentation can be found at:

https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/apis/streaming-api/

Kind regards,
Chris Amin
